The Jewish Bizarre - The Strange World of Nasology and the Jewish Shnozz
2022-12-27
In the mid 19th century, “Nasology'' emerged, a pseudoscientific belief that claimed that you could tell a person's personality type by the shape of their nose. Dr. Eddy Portnoy and Dr. Tony Michels get into the nitty gritty of the satirical origins of Nasology, its impact on the Jewish community, and what exactly the deal is with the stereotypical “Jewish shnozz.” Plus Jewish beauty queens, miraculous beauty products, and Tony Michels’ 7th grade yearbook superlative.
